With the car still rolling, engine smoking, we opened our car doors and jumped out...stay tuned...

another mudstomp

mudstomp mondays has been an incredible place for us to play and explore our music. the night usually ends with a late night jam on the street. really talented musicians cut loose and try new things. we make up silly songs like, "chunky gravy," "ashes blowing in her hair," and "it's too damn hot." the energy and excitement of this group of people is a lot of fun and we always look forward to seeing out friends from wiseacres, menage twang, sunflower colonels, tin horn molly and all the rest! a big thank you to jacob from tin horn molly who let us try out his washboard. we'll add a washboard to our collection of instruments soon, i am sure!





even thrash metal drummer, adam mitchell aka hammerlord can't resist the energy of mudstomp mondays. adam stops in for a little hammering on the ukulele!

jazzhaus open mic

the smile high tries out brent barry's open mic at the jazzhause on july 22nd, 2010. some of our mudstomp buddies where there along with melodie's mom. melodie's momma is also a musician and provided us with some great feedback. it was awesome to have her with us.

prairie moon summer camp

i taught summer camp out at prairie moon waldorf school in july. my super awesome friend melodie would bring me coffee. the children and staff knew that meant she must be a pretty serious friend if she would drive out to the country to feed my horrible coffee addiction and brighten my day. i told the children about how much fun melodie and i where having making music and explained that it is the fun thing that we do when we hang out. i explained that it would be like them getting together and playing legos (their absolutely most favorite thing they all have in common). they started singing acapella together, making it up as they went along. then i coaxed them into singing a smile high club song for melodie to say thank you for all the coffee. so i now present my darling friends (ethan, finn and angus) in our first commercial.
